Hurricane Ike

A storm raged all through Louisville on Sunday afternoon. There was no rain, just 80 mile per hour winds. Louisville has a lot of old trees, and almost all its power lines are above ground. These old trees are almost never trimmed, which means a lot of them got blown over, and landed on cars, houses and lots of power lines. Hundreds of thousands of homes were without power, ours included, till Saturday. We were lucky and were able to borrow a generator from some friends. This gave us some power but we were still very glad to have power back on Saturday.
